The fact FFXIV has none of these dirty tactics being used in their cash shop so far is a very very good thing. That someone would ever ask for such a currency to be introduced leaves me scratching my head a bit...
It already has one, it's called crysta. And people being opposed to this has me scratching my head a bit, if you don't like it don't use it? It's not like I'm suggesting they put adverts in the game...
